National Fuel Gas Co's dividend schedule
National Fuel Gas Co has paid quarterly across the 38 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on June 30, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Across the 54 announcements we have on file, NFG declares a dividend a median of 18 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice NFG gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 17 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 25 raises in our record, most take effect with the June payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 3.7%, effective with the June 2026 ex-date.
